Saw the man in November on opening night WOW! Decided I would like to see him again before he leaves Rio. Been working extra hours to make this happen.Just went to ticketmaster only to discover the tickets are now $250.00. This kinda bums me out. . What do you all think about this new price? I know he is worth it cause I have seen the show but are these prices really necessary? I am also an NPG member and thought maybe we would get some kind of special treatment but not so.

I'm personally very disappointed. Especially as the tickets for these shows initially went on sale for $125. Remember the Paisley Park parties in the 90s for $7?

If only there were time machines

Indeed. Let's just hope he doesnt decide to call his next album 6242 or else some of us are gonna be workin overtime if we want to see him live.

You do have a point here!

I was there opening night as well. I saw him again on Feb 18. I was thinking about going once more. I looked online Monday and tickets where 175.00. On tuesday I looked again and there are now 250.00.....DAMN!!!
I love my man, but thats just too much $$$$ right now

I hope ticket prices will be reasonable when he goes on tour, like they were last time

I agree. I liked him better before 2004. At least he was more accessible to fans and you could see him for a reasonable price. In a way, I think he has forgotten about the fans and admirers that's gotten him back to where he is today.

I'm already working overtime and still can't pay those prices!

$250.00-and worth every cent.U can't put a price on a Prince show!

I don't necessarily have a problem with $250 price---I have an issue with the fact that for the past 4 months tickets have cost $125 and then within a few days of going on sale for March they doubled, without warning, to $250. That makes it difficult to budget and save for a trip when the prices change arbitrarily.

Its' a shame. I was really toying with the idea of going once I found out about the March dates. The cost of airfare, hotel stay, food, taxi fare, and the tickets would have used up my entire tax refund, but I was willing to do it. Now it's just too much, and I don't agree with raising the prices at the last minute like this.

If they would have been $250 all along, I would have chalked it up to the high prices for entertainment in Vegas, and never considered going in the first place.

It sucks!

well....the only thing i can say is that yes, fans have attended the shows but they don't even make up ten percent of the audience.....the rest of the audience has been Purple Rain types or Vegas types that are just in town to blow some money, get drunk and hope Prince plays his hits

when he jacks the price up, i think it has more to do with the audience here in Vegas than anything else

that and maybe he is making up for the fact that the Jazz Cuisine has not done very well.....i have eaten there 4 times and it was never crowded and a few of the times it was so uncrowded that it was slightly uncomfortable....with like 20 waitstaff standing around with nothing to do, etc.

unfortunately the new price has made my decision not to go to anymore shows very easy

Is the restaurant open every night?

Interesting. I guess this adds more fuel to the rumour that this will be his last month at 3121 Vegas. Almost like they're trying to make a last minute grab-for-cash because they know he won't be there much longer.

It looks like a prototype Flux Capacitor.

i paid $250 for a nosebleed seat in 1993 to see him during the act one tour because he said it would be the last time he ever toured in the united states.

d'oh.
